===================================================
16th International Symposium on Methodologies for Intelligent Systems
Bari, Italy, September 27-29, 2006
http://www.di.uniba.it/ismis2006/imsis2006 at di.uniba.it
Important Dates
---------------
Paper submission:.................. March 18
Notification of acceptance:........ May 15

Topics of Interest
------------------
ISMIS 2006 invites submissions of original research contributions, as
well as proposals for panels and workshops. Contributions for
industry and applications sessions and software demonstrations also
are solicited. The conference covers a broad range of topics,
including the use of conventional approaches, as well as new
challenges for advanced techniques for intelligent systems in any
possible domain. This Symposium is intended to attract individuals
who are actively engaged both in theoretical and practical aspects of
intelligent systems. The goal is to provide a platform for a useful
exchange between theoreticians and practitioners, and to foster the
cross-fertilization of ideas in the following areas:
- Active Media Human-Computer Interaction
- Autonomic and Evolutionary Computation
- Intelligent Agent Technology
- Intelligent Information Retrieval
- Intelligent Information Systems
- Intelligent Interfaces
- Knowledge Representation and Integration
- Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining
- Logic for AI and Logic Programming
- Machine Learning
- Soft Computing
- Text Mining
- Web Intelligence
In addition, we solicit papers dealing with Applications of
Intelligent Systems in complex/novel domains, e.g. bioinformatics,
global change, manufacturing, health care, etc.
